It is need ed around homes, streets, vacant lots, side walks and more especially in alleys about town. There seems to be an extra accumulation of rubbish all over town. It is unsightly and certainly adds nothing to‘ the health fulness of the city and community. Mayor McNeil has proclaimed this week for cleaning up and making more attrac tive the appearance of all premises in North Wilkesboro. He has promised full cooperation of the sanitary department of the city government. Ft is up to the peo ple to carry out their part. We hope this clean-up idea is not con fined to North Wilkesboro. Heretofore some thoughtless persons who cleaned up here have dumped trash on the sides of highways near North Wilkesboro. Tra.sh there will give visitors a bad impression of North Wilkesboro. Danger of fire is much greater in areas which are filled with rubbish. Already this spring there have been a number of fires in grass and rubbish in North W ilkes- boro. Luckily, none of these fires have been disastrous but they could have been. On Tuesday this week there wa.^ a fire in grass and leaves accumulated in an alley. This‘clean-up i(^ is O. K. and deserves the support of all the people of the city and community. oU we. %ntfi lUBNAIrPAW ssaieaeasmeafi oufi of twi* oUeo> ei^niegl irurBC f)q>uided ffrwtlythe oi^.” Even ijio. p^vjtte bpTwark of our social.and V_^.the free ehbrprfife system. Let us remembM that now. We ' wiH have won a hollow victory indeed ^cwhi^ the wars are over and the defense drive has been consummated, we find ourselves with government as a financial dictator'^ the provider and controller of all'credits. There is but one way that can be avoided —and that way is to depend upon private credit to the greatest possible extent, anc’ to call upon government credit'only when there is no other course open. Such, insti tutions as the banks have declared their willingness to do the biggest financing job in their history, in the interest of defense. Let them do it. iMe U. S* Troops on Dut^kt ogiaaii There Is One Sure Goal! If you have rowed a boat across a wide lake in order to reach a defniite point on the other side, you know that it’s a good idea to look over your shou.der from time to time and make sure that you’re still headed right. This country is rowing pretty fast and furious at the present time. It’s a good moment to take a look at the objective, so wee’ll be perfectly clear where we’re going National security is the port we have set out to reach. In the midst of a chaotic w'orld, Americans have determined to make sure that the great advantages in living which they enjoy shall not be rubb ed ut through any neglect or carelessness. Particularly prized have been the vari ous liberties we in this country enjoy—ci vil and religious freedom, a political sys tem of representative democracy, and the private enterprise system for earning one’s living. tasy?

STORE Children Killed North Carolina lost fourteen of its future citizen.s last month when four girls and ten boys under 16 years of age met untimely deaths under the wheels of trucks and au tomobiles, it was reported this week by the Highway Safety Division. Five of these boys and girls were on foert, three were on bicycle.s, one was on a school bus. and five were in automobiles. Last month’s youthful traffic victims in North Carolina included: Two boys riding a bicycle on the high way at night without a light. A 14-year old boy, weaving and zig- sag ging in traffic on his bicycle. One five-year-old child who fell out of A car when she leaned on the door handlti and the door flew open. A seven-year-old boy who ran from be hind a parked car into the path of a truck. A three-year-old girl who w'as playing on the highway. A 11-y ear-old boy who was taking driv ing lessons from a 16-year-old boy and stepped on the gas instead of the brake when the car started to run off the road. And a five-year-old boy started across the street without looking. Traffic \ictims in the state during the first three months of this year included 11 boys and girls from 10 to 14 years of age. 12 children from five to nine years old, and six children under five years of age. Fif teen of the tv. enty-nine were on foot a six were on bicycles, “I urgently plead with North Carolina 'motorists to be unusually alert and cauti ous when they see children ahead of them, on foot or on bicycles, and I plead with North Carolina parents to do everything in their power to make their children safety conscious and careful,” said Ronald Ho- cutt, director of the Highway Safety D vision. .

And, paradoxically, they are willing to accept the imposition of certain emergency regu lations upon certain of these rights, know ing that they will thereby aid the defense effort. Just as heavier taxes are being ac cepted to support defense, so restrictions on business of certain kinds have been ad mitted necessary in order that the indus trial machine can work most effectively for defense. For example, in certain cases where there is an extraordinary demand for materials needed in defense the ap plication of prioritie.s may be expedient. Export licensing to guard against deplet ing this country of vital materials and pro ducts might be another case in point. There is surely, however, one para- niount point to remember. The regulation.^ are temporary. They have been accepted as needful by the people of this country becau.se the people are convinced that the present emergency warrants their applica tion. This being the ca.se, all Americans, intcrc-^led in the characteristic habits of life in this country, look forward to the day when these special reins and hobbles will be loosened. After all, it is to guard again.st the uni versal spread ol just such con.straints that our national defense program has been embarked upon.

Tot Likker’ Is Given Boost In Social Rank Nutritional research has re vealed that malnutrition is often a less serious problem among low j income negro families than a ' niong white families. Mis.! Sallir WE ARE LUCKY TODAY K^ension nn (Kernersville News) Itritionist of N. C. State College The last century was a period of un-^says that one reason for this i‘ believable progress. But in no field was that negro families usually con sume the “pot likker’ greater progress made than in care of the sick, and in advancing the standards of public health. A century ago, for instance, anesthesia for surgical operation was unknown—it did not come into use until 186. And even later, in Civil War days, hospital death rates of 20 per cent and more were not un common. Nothing was known of in infec tious diseases, the gei-m theory had not been heard otf, and sterilization of instru ments and dressings was never practiced Not until 1868 was a start made in curbing and controlling infection. Startling is the fact that 99 out of 100 American hospitals weer founded within living memory. Fifty years ago hospitals were generally confined to large cities— in small towns and rural areas operations took place at home, by the light of kero sene lamps and an open vessel steaming on a stove as sterilizer. 'The medical men were not content. It was 3ue to their ini tiative that hospitals in smaller centers were gradually established. The whole history of medicine is a his tory of individual effort—of tireless pri-^ vate initiative—of unselfish men fighting the endless war against disease and puW lie ignorance! And all of US lead ^^ier,^ fuller lives because of it the wat er in which their vegetable?- arf boiled—iwhile the white familie; throyr it away. "Actually,’’ Miss Brooks said, “this ‘pot liquor’ contains' much of the vitamin content of the vegetables, including the essentia B vitamins that are soluble Ir water." She thinks that the socia standing of “pot liquor” shoulC be raised.

Alread? on the market In many section' of the country is a new vitamin enriched bread. There is very little. If any dls cernable difference between the new and old breads. Miss Brookf explained. They look alike and taste exactly alike. One thing being emphasized by the U. S. Department of Agricul ture is that food is not being used fs a carrier of medicine. ‘”rhey are^not giving the .Ameri can people drugs under the guise of bread,” the * nutritionist de clared. “'!%•. vitamin-enriched bread only serves to restore to the diet aome ot the mpst essen. etomento Ua$ haven bwa tok en turn it hy^ ehaaglag -rs'?- Misses Ruth and Juanita Keys ppent Stinday afternoon with Ml^s Helen Church.
